Emmy Predictions 2024 - Who Will Likely Be Nominated for Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series?

From June 13 to 24, 2024, voting is taking place for The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards. As such, it's fun to look at which actors and shows have the best chances of actually being nominated this year. So, these are my predictions for which performers will be nominated for Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

Performers most likely to be nominated:

1. Hannah Einbinder for Max's Hacks
2. Meryl Streep for Hulu's Only Murders in the Building
3. Sheryl Lee Ralph for ABC's Abbott Elementary
4. Janelle James for ABC's Abbott Elementary
5. Liza Colón-Zayas for FX's The Bear
6. Abby Elliott for FX's The Bear
7. Allison Janney for AppleTV+'s Palm Royale

Serious threats that could break through:

1. Carol Burnett, Laura Dern, Leslie Bibb, Julia Duffy and Amber Chardae Robinson for AppleTV+'s Palm Royale
2. Meg Stalter for Max's Hacks
3. Lisa Ann Walter for ABC's Abbott Elementary
4. Molly Gordon for FX's The Bear

7. Paulina Alexis for FX's Reservation Dogs
8. Kristen Schaal for FX's What We Do In the Shadows
9. Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, Sarita Choudhury and Nicole Ari Parker for Max's And Just Like That

Some considerable long-shots:

1. Michaela Jaé Rodriguez for AppleTV+'s Loot
2. Cassidy Freeman, Kristen Johnston and Jennifer Nettles for HBO's The Righteous Gemstones

3. Zooey Deschanel for AppleTV+'s Physical
